Our good friend Fin over at Housecat Confidential is hosting a Scafflaw Week. A Scafflaw is a person who flouts the law, a person who flouts rules, conventions, or accepted practices.
Our mum doesn't have many laws, rules or even accepted practices. But she does have one rule and that rule is. DO NOT GET ON THE SHELVES WHERE HER ORNAMENTS ARE KEPT!
Of course we listen to her every word and then chose to ignore them. We have even been known to shoot lasers at her while we're ignoring her every word.
Punishment for breaking this one and only rule is as follows.
Mum performs a strange dance with lots of wailing and arm waving. She then starts clapping her hands and making 'psst, psst' noises. We have been known to ignore this as well.

Without flouting the law...what is there to look forward to on another miserable day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Scafflaw attempting

Well I bet mum will just grab you next time, Smudge or Spider did a naughty thing but I did not catch them in the act.
ReplyDeleteWe sure like your style!!
ReplyDeleteOur Momma makes that same noise sometimes! Do you think it's a 'mom' thing??
ReplyDeleteToo funny!!! My mom's rule for my feline sister Rosie is stay out of her closet. But somehow Rosie manages to sneak in there everyday and especially likes napping in her sweaters.
ReplyDeleteYour pal, Pip
Hahahaha! Well done!
ReplyDeleteOur mom uses a water squirt bottle--she just has to pick it up and shake it and we scatter!
Thomas, we think you look better up there than any of the other ornaments! We can't understand why moms don't seem to appreciate this.
ReplyDeleteExcellent job of not listening!
ReplyDeleteBut there's so much cool space to check out around the ornaments!
ReplyDeleteSo, basically, you have done a great job of training her to do that funny dance on command. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteOur Mommy does the EXACT SAME DANCE!
ReplyDeleteIs that weird or what?
LOL! I think that is the universal breakage dance that mums perform when kitties are naughty!
ReplyDeleteI do it too :-)
Love the lasers when you're being naughty!!MOL!!...Happy Friday, sweet friends...kisses...Calle, Halle, Sukki
ReplyDeleteI think I would jump on those shelves just to get a command performance of your human's curious behavior!
ReplyDeleteOur mom has a similar rule...we ignore it too...but it does get us in trouble sometimes!!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see video of that Mom Dance... Good Kitty!!
